Burke & Herbert Financial Services Corp., established in 2022 as a holding company for Burke & Herbert Bank & Trust Company, operates primarily in the community banking sector. With a strong heritage dating back to 1852, the Bank specializes in serving small and medium-sized businesses, professional corporations, and individuals in Northern Virginia and the surrounding areas. The company provides a diverse range of financial services, including checking and savings accounts, loans (commercial, residential, and industrial), wealth management, and cash management services, positioning itself as a preferred provider of personalized banking solutions in a growing market.
By emphasizing local decision-making and a customer-centric service model, Burke & Herbert seeks to differentiate itself among larger, national competitors. The recent merger with Summit Financial Group is expected to bolster its market position by expanding its service offerings and operational scale. With a commitment to regulatory compliance and a focus on cultivating strong relationships with clients, Burke & Herbert aims to leverage both economic growth in the Washington D.C. area and banking consolidation trends to drive long-term, sustainable growth and profitability.
